Hose Assembly – Installation Guide
To allow for length changes when hose is pressurised, do When installing hose, make sure it is not twisted. Pressure
not clamp at bends. Curves will absorb changes. Do not applied to a twisted hose can result in hose failure or
clamp high and low pressure lines together. loosening of connections.
When determining the length of hose assemblies, provide sufficient length to prevent bending strain from localising at the back
of the coupling. In the diagram measurement “B” allows for a strain section of hose beyond the coupling to prevent
concentration of bending strain. “T” designates the amount of travel. “A” indicates the smallest diameter to which hose
should be bent.
